Scott has already stated that the film is expected to be released as PG-13, but he's shooting harder material for a Director's Cut.

Oh man....what is the point with chest-gnawing-bursting aliens in a made-for-kids movie ?
Not saying that the movie can't be good but that kind of defeat the whole idea.
We are going backwards, 1979 R-rated, 2011 PG-13, or is the idea that PG-13 today is 1979's R-rated?

Yeah.... we'll see how that 'DC' really turns out. Le sigh.

Yeah, really. Hollywood: Quit neutering movies that are meant to be rated R! Seriously, lots of people will still see it to get you plenty of ticket sales. Just stop.

Now that I think about it....yeah, gotta be.
The big "human" face on the wall and all that.
So the Space Jockey (or pilot) is a humanoid after all...so what is the thing in the chair from the original Alien?

I don't get it....since when does a "rating" make or break the quality of a movie?
Science fiction has to be an "R" in order to be good?

No but it's frikkin' Aliens, man! You wouldn't want to see a PG-13 Friday the 13th or whatever would you? Don't get me wrong. It still looks good and you bet your ass I'll go see it but... c'mon. Don't defend the totally unnecessary lower rating. Cool movie franchise or not.

Coming Soon: Goodfellas, the remake... rated PG13.

I have a question for you, when does making a movie like this rated PG13 make it better?

It doesn't.
Frankly, I never pay attention to the "rating" when I select a movie to watch.
It's more about what I am in the mood for.
I like movies rated anywhere from G to NC-17...it really doesn't matter as far as I am concerned.

If there isn't a chestburster scene in Prometheus, fine by me.
After all, been there....done that.

I read some new comments from Scott a couple of days ago where he stated that the "pilot" we saw in Alien was in fact a suit, not a skeleton and he wanted to explore who/what was in the suit. (obviously)
He also flat out stated that there will not be any xenomorphs in the movie. (I'll look for the link)

Trailer looks great. Is that the ship from Alien that is shown crashing?
Now, as long as
